The - pass was sent him and he used it to travel to the county seat. While in the jury box a dam age suit against the railroad com pany., was called, and he was objected to by the plaintiff on the ground that he has used a pass furnished by that railroad. The judgs sustained the ob jection and the juror was dismissed from - the panel, his ' ; honor . making some strong remarks concerning the matter. And while that judge was severely criticising the juror, that, same judge had in bis pocket an annual pass over that same railroad good for him self and family. And here is another incident that actually happened in Nebraska: A liquor dealer in a western city was arrested on the charge of having violated the excise law.

If the liquor dealer was guilty of contempt or attempted bribery for having given some brandy to a juror, what about the railroad that gave an annual pass to. the judge? ' " Choice '!??'' "I absolutely refuse to take Q&f part in politics," said the Great Mag nate in a tone of disgust. Naturally we asked him for his rea son, being interested in politics to a considerable extent. v.

But the Great Magnate was too hon est and clean jto' take part in politics because .it was too dirty a business. However he took good care that a congressman should be elected who would prevent tariff revision and he owned a senator who could be depend ed on to thwart any legislation in the interests of the people and against the selfish interests of the other Great Magnates. Knowing all this' we wondered that men should hold such peculiar views of cleanliness. ' Brain Leaks Sin is sexless.

It? is better to think a little first than q do a lot of regretting after wards. V The -man who looks at the world through self always has a blurred vision:- .Considering his reputation for wis dom Solomon foolishly frittered away some wonderful opportunities. . It has come to pass that there is a vast difference between appealing to law and appealing to justice.

When some railroad man frames up a time card that the public can readily understand we will insist that he be presented with a Carnegie medal for heroism. The man who is too selfish to pay his share of the expense incurred in securing : the benefits he ' enjoys : is not a fit associate for the men whose toil and sacrifice have brought' about the benefits. . When it comes to pass that the balmy winds and warm sun of a spring day do not make you .yearn for-a day in the woods,, it is a ' sign ' that you are thinking too much of the dollar and not enough of life.

" W hat s the matter with him - in quired the other, as he drove a nail home without hitting his thumb, i "What's the matter? Why, he's a sharper, he is ; you've got to look alive or he'll cheat the very eyes out of you! I'll just tell you what he did to me last week: '--' - "I had occasion., to get a rig from him just had .to have it that very day to go to town on that court business and that horse dealer, he said he didn't know me, and he'd lost a lot, letting things to strangers, and unless i'A leave the worth o' the rig with him then and there he wouldn't hear to my taking it. "Well, it just so happened I had the money by me wasn't much of a turn out, by the way and I put it up with him, and when I came back he handed over the price and I give up the rig. "Well, now, what do you suppose that fellow called after me as I was putting off home? 'Hold on!' he hol lered. . 'You've forgot to pay for the hire.' i V ," 'Hire?' I said. 'Hire? I'd like to know if I wasn't driving my own rig all the afternoon!' "Did you ever hear the like o' that for graspingness? Yes, sir, I tell you that horse dealer's a sharper!" Youth's Companion. THAT LABOR DECISION , The supreme court of the United States has just decided a case that affects the labor question and is a blow to labor organization. - This de cision declares that no eight hour law or ten hour law can interfere with the individual right to contract. There is much to the question, and persons who have not lived in cities where the la bor question is a vital one, can hardly judge fairly. People in the country know nothing about the labor question except that there is always work and no end to it. . But to the city workman it presents itself in an entirely differ ent view, and we fchould hear both sides, before deciding. The eight hour law passed in many states has been a great help to labor organizations and has in turn been bitterly antagonized by those who employ in great num bers. The greedy corporations nave won a great victory, which means mil lions of additional profits where profits are already large. Hastings (Neb.), Democrat. MOST APPROPRIATE .t . -J Secretary Shaw has objected to re ceiving a professional gravedigger as his official coachman. Any one who has seen the kind of rigs in which members of the cabinet,' by the grace of congress, draw up in front of the white house on cabinet days, would say that a professional hearse-driver was the man needed to complete the picture.

" 'Employment Steady work not so much an object as good wages. C. M. D.' " Washington Times. , V The Patriot Calling his private secretary into the inner office and bidding him close the door, the Great Magnate said: -, "Have you arranged with Senator Graball to get our special legislation through?" "The senator tells me that there can be no such thing as failure."; "And have you arranged with the XL, Y. & Z. railroad for a better rebate on our product?" "The manager of the freight depart; ment has finally consented to increase our rebate by giving us 20 percent more of the freight paid by ourcom petitors." . "And have you sold the- bonds, in my Aurora Borealis and Blue Sky cor- portation to .the .Benevolent Life As-H surance company as an investment for -the benefit of our policyholders?" u "Yes, sir; I made the transfer on the- books today and your account is cred ited with an amount that equals the ' parr value of the stock of the Aurora' Borealis and Blue Sky stock."

"Had he done so we would not be supposed to know where he got it." :The more they thought about it the madder they became.
